I picked up my brand new Rickman Metisse frame this morning, the quality of the brazing and nickel plating is amazing. Engine is rebuilt waiting to go in, I’m in the middle of rewiring a friends 840,once that’s done my build will begin.

Looking good. I must say, since you’re this deep into it, DC Motive sells a nice upper tree. I bought one. Also there’s a machinist on here that made his own billet lower.I’ve been polishing the yokes to go with the very shiny frame.View attachment 181601
The frame came from Rickman Motorcycles in Stroud ,UK.Please tell us where you purchased the frame. Not many XS owners that would spring for
the cost of one of those but I would. Very nice.
It’s beautiful mate! I can’t wait to see this come together! What have you done with the engine build?The frame came from Rickman Motorcycles in Stroud ,UK.
I’ve rebuilt the engine, vapour blasted, rebore to first oversize ,new camchain, both tensioner blades replaced with new,new gearbox bearings, all new seals and gaskets.It’s beautiful mate! I can’t wait to see this come together! What have you done with the engine build?
